It is a legal requirement for all teachers employed in Scottish schools to be registered, and part of the agreed national terms and conditions for college lecturers employed in Scottish colleges; we administer that register.
We set and uphold the standards for entering and remaining in the teaching profession, as well as investigating serious concerns about teachers and college lecturers.
GTC Scotland is responsible for accrediting programmes of Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and setting the minimum entry requirements for these programmes.
